Download Formats
Brand Portals enable you to download different types of product content. They may have product specifications, images, videos, and other files available for you to download. Here are the different formats available for exporting information from a Brand Portal:
- Spreadsheet with product content and file URLs
- Specification Sheets and Price Lists in PDF format
- Individual files
- ZIP files with multiple items
💡 Before you get started downloading content, learn how to navigate a Brand Portal.
Selecting Products and Files
Products
From the product overview page, use the switches on the top right corner of each product to make your selection. You can select each product individually or bulk select the whole page.
You have the option to 'Review Selection' or click on the download options to begin your download.
You can also select a product individually from a product detail's page.
💡 Don't worry, any previous selections you have made will stick around. For example, once you have selected an individual product from a product's detail page, then navigate back to the product overview, the product will still be selected.
Files
To select files, head to the "Files" tab and select each file individually using the switches on the top right corner of your file, or bulk select the whole page.
You can also download a file linked to a product from a product's detail page.
Downloading a Datasheet
You can download product data including related files using the Datasheet export option.
This will open up further options for how to format your spreadsheet:
- Select your data format - CSV or XLSX.
- Select the product attributes you want to see in your spreadsheet.
- Choose to include a ZIP file of all selected product assets. You can also define the file types you want to download and if you would like to resize them.
ℹ️ The ZIP file selection will download a ZIP file for each selected product which contains all files connected to each product.
To finalize your download, provide an email address where the information will be sent, then click 'Download.' Your content will be packaged up and sent to you via email with a link that will expire after 15 days.
ℹ️ The order in which your selected products are populated in your data sheet is dependent on the order you have chosen the products to be displayed using the "Sorting" option. Set sorting conditions and define display order in the products tab to customize your output.
